Dr. Perry Cox

Percival Ulysses "Perry" Cox, M.D. (most commonly referred to as Dr. Cox), is a fictional character played by John C. McGinley on the American television comedy-drama Scrubs.

Cox has appeared in every episode except three Season 8 episodes, "My Last Words", "My Comedy Show" and "My Full Moon".

John C. McGinley is the only original cast member, besides Donald Faison, who returned for season nine as a regular cast member.

Dr. Cox is the Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital, having accepted the former position after Dr. Bob Kelso's departure, and until Dr. Maddox (Courteney Cox) takes up the position. However, after concluding that Dr. Maddox is worse than Dr. Kelso, he teams up with the Janitor and Dr. Kelso to oust her. After a few days, Kelso convinces him to accept the Chief of Medicine position.
